Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection that commonly affects children but can also occur in adults, where it may cause more serious illness. The infection typically causes an itchy blister-like rash, fever and general discomfort, and can occasionally lead to complications.

Before vaccination, one of our healthcare professionals will assess your medical history and discuss whether the vaccine is suitable for you.
